In 1983, she opened Lynch Research, a political polling firm where she was the first women pollster in a Presidential campaign-the Gary Hart Presidential race and the Mondale Ferraro general election.

At CBS News, she covered five Presidential campaigns, 10 national Political conventions, 18 Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates and five midterm elections. Lynch was the co-director of the Election and Survey Unit where she managed a team of researchers to provide information and analysis to all TV broadcasts (CBS Evening News, 60Minutes, Face the Nation, The Early Show), CBS Radio and most recently CBS news.com where she writes a weekly column, Political Points. Lynch worked extensively on political broadcasts with CBS correspondents including Dan Rather, Lesley Stahl, Bob Schieffer, Ed Bradley, Charles Kuralt, Mike Wallace, Diane Sawyer in particular on their interviews with prominent American leaders including Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Vice Presidents Al Gore and Dan Quayle and virtually all Presidential candidates, major Cabinet officials and Congressional and political leaders since 1985.
Lynch was a fellow at the JFK Institute of Politics at Harvard University in the Spring ’06 semester where she conducted a study group on the 2006 Midterm Elections. She continues as a member of the CBS News Election Decision Desk and is an analyst for CBS Radio. Lynch often appears on C-Span, the News Hour with Jim Lehrer and NPR as well as CBS Radio.
In the news:
As the 2008 Presidential campaign heats up, Dotty Lynch's political commentary for CBS News Radio has become more frequent, averaging five to 10 interviews a day with CBS News radio affiliates. She was on the CBS News Decision Desk for all the primaries and was at the CBS broadcast Center in New York on Super Tuesday and participated in an AU Forum the next day on what the results meant. In January, with Professors Lynne Perri, Bill Gentile and Richard Benedetto, she brought 29 students to New Hampshire for five days for a class on the Presidential primaries.
In April she gave a presentation on the "Changing Role of the Media at Conventions" for the party conventions conference chaired by AU Professor James Thurber and attended both the Democratic and Republican Conventions in Denver and St. Paul. This spring and summer, in addition to CBS News, she has been interviewed on the BBC, MSNBC, CNN International, WRC, WUSA, Hearst Syndicate and the Voice of America TV on topics ranging from the role of the media in 2008 to racism and sexism in the campaigns. This semester she is teaching a course on "Election 2008: Politics, Polls and the Youth Vote" in which the students are working with USA Today/Gallup Poll on measuring and analyzing the impact of young people in the 2008 election. She will be back at CBS News in New York on Election Night 2008--40 years after her first election night in the NBC studios in 1968 working with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley.
